1. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   The worst app. Omg this app cant be real im using it since 2022 until now 2026, and it hasn’t made any progress it look soo old and isn’t flexible and it suddenly deleted all my data!! I didn’t move to other app because of my data which was saved since prep year in college, now it became USELESS .

   Reward your Focus. Some people take long breaks than 30 minutes. Some people actually take 90 min to do an exercise routine during their midday break.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   It no longer works. At first it was doing fine. But now it doesn’t synch my laptop app with my iPhone app. Both I had to pay separately!

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Video ads in a focus timer?. Great app, totally down for ads, but really…putting video ads in an app to help one focus seems pretty thoughtless.

5. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   BE WARNED: Pornography ads!!. Works great but only giving 2 stars because pornography ads showing at bottom. If not removed I’m deleting app!!

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Features disappeared.. I’m really confused. I bought this app for my computer a year ago for the blocking feature that I could use to block websites that distract me. But now I downloaded on my phone too, but I can’t find this feature anywhere on the app and I don’t see them advertising that feature anymore in the App Store. Did they stop this feature? I don’t think it’s worth it to pay for if it doesn’t have this feature anymore

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   It’s 2026.. yet no dark mode. Charging a subscription for a timer that does not require any expensive ongoing servers costs and not having such a basic feature like dark mode is mind-blowing

8. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Be focused review. Been rocking with them for a minute but I can't get timers with breaks that are seconds not minutes. And there is no contact number it's only email, implying they don't want to have to deal with customer service, so they send you to email knowing they won't be able to get to it, there needs to be a contact number, even one from a partner app would work.

9. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Alarms should be louder and last longer. The concept is great!! Really works to keep me focused. However, the alarm at the end of the work and break sections do not last long enough. Too easy to ignore or simply not hear … if you are hyper focused. I use the program in conjunction with the alarm function on my phone to solve this issue.

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Disappointed. Bought a lifetime subscription of this app a year ago so it could sync across my devices. Now I find out that it doesn’t sync anymore. Tried to reach out to support. They wanted a copy of my receipt from a year ago. No response as of yet:-(

12. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Could be so much better. I really really wish I had the option to edit each task to add specific time, my task have different time needed, one is 5 minutes and many 1 hour, I purchased the life time but will no longer be using until this feature is available, I get more frustrated with the app than it is worth. Please add that feature!!!

13. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Helpful App. I find this app, very helpful. It has some great features, and it is free to use. Very helpful for people like me with ADHD that struggle with time management and keeping track of things/time/tasks. I would love if you could have the sound on the timer go off even if your phone was on silent. I often have my ringer off so that every text/notification doesn’t interrupt me. However, that means I can’t hear the end of the timer. Another improvement that I would love to see, that would make this app even more helpful Would be the ability to make different lists. You can make topics, but I haven’t figured out if you can look at just certain things under a topic. That way you could make job/home/project type of lists. Or make list that are for the day, or the week or the month, etc.

    Paid subscription bugs. Seems like the bugs I saw before are fixed. Great app, and I even have the paid version.

15. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Over all great app- Missing features from previous version. It’s good, it was better. I can’t find the feature allowing use from lock screen or not directly in app. Maybe it’s a setting- but it’s frustrating. Still very useable and great features for being free

16. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Great focus timer app among similar free apps. I’ve used your app extensively, and in my opinion, it’s the best free tool available for timing tasks. However, there’s one major issue that still hasn’t been addressed: the lack of a dark mode in the main app. While the widget supports dark mode, the core app does not. This creates a jarring experience—especially at night—when you open the app and are suddenly hit with a bright white screen. Please consider adding a dark mode to the main app to make the experience more consistent and user-friendly🙏🏼

    Focusing. Great unobtrusive system fo staying on track, reduces stress.

18. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great product to help you focus, but sometimes can glitch. I’ve been using this product for years on the free version. I decided to upgrade to the pro version. Mainly I use it with my Apple Watch both at work and to study and it allows me to work 1 hour increments and remember to take breaks and answer personal messages during those breaks. Only problem that I’ve seen sometimes happens is when this app glitches, such as you could be in the middle of a timer and it just resets or stops out of nowhere, or you want to keep track of how many intervals you’ve completed and it messes up the count. Hopefully it’s a minor bug that can be fixed. Otherwise it’s a great tool for focus and productivity

19. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    Great productivity and focus app for school/ other tasks. This app helps me to stay focused and productive with school and household tasks. At first, the notifications weren’t making a sound even with the ringer on and volume up. Then I found out that the screen has to stay on until the end for it to make a sound.

20. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    The best focus app. It would be so much better if you add horizontal rotation to your app setting and make it an option for those who want to use this feature.

21. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Please make it so apps and websites can be blocked on the mobile version!. This app is almost perfect! The only thing that would make it perfect for me is to be able to block apps and websites on my phone. I appreciate being able to block apps and websites on the Mac version, but I am still able to access them from my phone!

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Dark mode. Can we get a dark mode for all of these? It disrupts the vibe in my late night study sessions

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Almost perfect. Dark mode would make it perfect.

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great App. Great app on iPhone and even better on Mac. Like the Mac app, my one suggestion would be to have the work/rest timers immediately roll into one another not requiring any button pressing. Overall, would highly recommend!

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    It works. Wish it had an apple watch “complication”
